Default 00 cherokee exhaust leak

Hey guys, I have an Exhaust leak right under where the front differential is. I got a new gasket but my 3 bolts are shot... rusted over, more like needles than anything. Question is, what size, type bolts do I need? Cant seem to find or know what I'm looking for to get new ones. I'd imagine they need to be special because it gets so hot down there. Any help or link would be appreciated!

I am pretty sure when I redid my exhaust on my '00 I used stainless from the hardware store.
Tried to see if I had the size I used but could not find it in my files.
Whatever fits in the hole. LOL.

Every April I crawl under the Jeep and put a wrench or socket to every bolt that I can get at.
Thinking the exhaust has been in there about 3 and 1/2 years this past April and they looked fine.
I did use washers, had to trim a couple to clear the pipe, and lock washers too.
